I see, interesting... I've been looking at it when I can (I've had the same Boss katana ever since I started 5-ish years ago) and that's the complaint I've heard thrown around a lot. Maybe compensating with an FRFR cab would work? Because then you've got a bit of both worlds; The digital amp and the genuine air being pushed by a loud cab. Alas, again, I need to do more research and try stuff out when I can. Thanks a lot for the pointers! :D

I forgot to clarify the degree was jazz/modern music (my bad). It isn't strictly jazz since we do a lot of fusion and funk but we also have to learn 10-20 standards per trimster. I've had two guitar teachers so far and both of them swear by the Telecaster so I'll have to check one out. Got the privilege of playing one of my teacher's authentic broadcaster and it rips hard.

The thing with the Ibanez AZ is that they're not like the RG range or any other Ibanez I've tried - they've got proper beefy necks. Not baseball bat-y necks since they've got a flat spot but they're round enough.

I really appreciate all the pointers though! I'm young and I've got some sort of idea about gear but you've given me lots of cool stuff to look into. One thing though, would investing in an AxFX be a viable alternative to a high quality tube amp? I'm asking since most of my teachers swear by modelers.

Thanks!

Ayo! New user and first time poster here :D

I've got a dilemma. I'm a jazz and modern music guitar student with ambitions of becoming a professional/session guy someday and right now all I've got is a pretty middle of the road 500 euro Ibanez. I'm currently torn between a Strat (which would be modified to oblivion) and an Ibanez AZ (the prestige model), I'm also open to suggestions but I'd love to get different opinions on the matter :)

Before anyone says anything, I've tried both and I'm still just as indecisive.
